TURKEY HUNTING.

How Two Local Nimrods Jared in a
Shooting Expedition at Graytown.
A short time ago two Nimrods of this
city, who go hunting regularly, and
every five years went to GrRytUwn to
kill something, was at the latter place In
the search OF something TO shoot. Ar
irving at the rendezvous they met col
ored boy who told them that II they
stood under IA certain tree they could Sc
cure some fine turkeys. The Nimrods
gave the boy liberal tip, sought the
tree and waited developments. They
did not have to walt long, for soon n
turkey came marching along, the two
blazed away and the turkey was soon
made meat for the table. In less than
20 minutes eleven more turkeys, In In
dian file, had passed that way and were
served In like manner. These were
followed by a colored man armed with a
Winchester, a colored woman with \
broOm-stick, n cOlored daughter armed
In the same manner. The colOred boy
who gave the Information arrived with
a big pistol, all rs black as the ace Of
spades. The Golored man then seemed
very angry and presented bill for the
tame turkeys they had shot, charging
about double the san Antonio price for
the same birds, and the NimrOds paid
the amount rather than have trouble,
which they feared was imminent. The
nimrods went one way, and the cOlOred
folks the other, chuckling over the big
price they had got for their turkeys.
The cOlored people then got on the qui
yive for hunting suckers who wanted
tame turkeys, and IL is said, made rich
harvest out Of the vanity OF hunters.

Fire and Loss of Life.

PnTsBURG, Pa, April 26.-Fire broke
out this morning in Willis Bros. gro
Gerry, corner Lscock and Cory streets.
Allegheny City, entailing loss OF life,
besides injury to several people and de-
struction OF considerable property. The
building was four-stOry one. One is
used as a grocery by Willis Bros. They
and their mother and some rOomers OC-
cupied the upper stories. Shortly
after l o'clock Mrs. Willis was awak-
ened. Arising, she saw sparks coming
up the elevator In the rear of the build
ing. She alarmed the inmates and at
the same time an outsider discovered
the ire and gave alarm. Eleven people
were known to be in the burned build
ing. Smoke was thick and being In
dense clouds, through passages and hall
ways, ladders were run TO various
stories. TO open window from one of
the large ladders thrown up against the
building was to meet cloud OF
sutfocating vapOr, but into il
both tiremen and police were plunged.
The heads Of frightened women were
envelOped in clothes and they were car
ried out all Uniniured, except Sophie
Bales, she could not be found. One of
the most appalling incidents Of this fire
from the building while the fire.
men were fighting their way upstairs
William Eberman appeared at a window
OF the third floor. He was too far gone
to shout, but he was seen and the crowd
yelled TO him to hold on. A ladder went
uD and man hastily started to help
Eberman. When the rtscuer had
reached the second floor Eberman was
seen to lurch forward, and then came
down with a rush. Whether he fell or
jumped could not be learned. He fell
or his head and shoulders, and
was picked up dead. One Hog
gilzerm, Greek, 4 powerful man
was another victim. His room was
on the fourth floor. The bravery of a
man in the crowd probably saved his
life. The Greek had posed himself on
the sill looking at the flames behind him
and the pavement below, and then made
spring from the sill. just as his body
shot downward, a man from the crowd
ran forward with arms outstretched and
caught the falling body. rhe force sent
hun to the ground with the Greek but
The letters head hit the pavement, and
IL is thought that his skull was frac-
tured. The man who had run this risk
for the stranger disappeared, and the
Greek was carried away. The fire held
on stubbornly, and 1t was half-past 3
O'Clock before II was under control.
In searching the hOuse the bodies of So
phia Bales and Fred Schultz. were found
on the fourth floor. They were still in
bed and had evidently suffOcated to
death from smoke. OF the injured, Eb-
erman and the two Greeks were remOv-
ed to the hospital where they are now
resting easy. 1t lie feared, however, that
Eberman and Haggitz can not recover.
Fire is supposed to have been caused by
natural gas. $4,000 loss; covered by in
guTance.
